Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have done most travels with my brother and also am currently living in a share house with him. He has been a member of couch surfing for awhile, we have had quite a few different couch surfers stay at our house over the last year and majority of people/experiences have been great so thought id best join the bandwagon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

have had english, sweedish, german, norwegian, NZ and Swiss backpackers stay at our house; anywhere from few days to a few weeks. Has always been an excellent experience and have been happy to have the people stay.

Interests

travel, cooking and just spending time with friends, havin a laugh over a few beers.
Have enjoyed scuba diving, snowboarding, skydiving and would love to do more.
